Unique Product Designs by Susan’s Nature & Seasonal Studio

 

 

When you visit my Zazzle store, you’re not browsing mass-produced merchandise. You’re stepping into a studio my studio where every product begins with original art, thoughtful design, and a deep respect for the creative process.

I’m not a factory. I’m not a fulfillment center. I’m a designer, writer, photographer, and full-time caregiver to my husband. I create with purpose and design work helps me stay focused, grounded, and creatively engaged. It’s how I decompress, how I contribute, and how I protect my voice.



Behind the Scenes: How I Create Templates That Feel Personal

I specialize in creating customizable templates for greeting cards, invitations, stationery, and more. These aren’t generic layouts. Each template is built from original artwork I’ve designed using AI tools, my own photography, or collage art.



I create original artwork using AI tools, but every piece begins with my own prompt, vision, and design decisions. Whether it’s a watercolor-style composition, a collage, or a photographic overlay, the creative direction is entirely mine.



I treat AI like a brush not a substitute for creativity. The tools help me render the image, but the concept, the color palette, and the emotional tone all come from me.

Here’s what goes into each design:

  • Original artwork: I use to create with public domain vintage holiday cards, but now I create the art myself whether it’s a photo, a digital painting, or a layered collage.
  • Custom text placement: I decide where every word goes. I don’t rely on default settings. I adjust spacing, alignment, and font pairings to match the tone of the message.
  • Color and font curation: I select ink colors and fonts that reflect the mood whether it’s joyful, solemn, romantic, or playful.
  • Handwritten voice: I write my own greetings and invitation text. No filler. No copy-paste. Just words that resonate.

Templates may be editable, but they’re not impersonal. They’re designed with care, so customers can make them their own without losing the integrity of the original design.

More Than Cards

While I’m known for my greeting card and invitation templates, my studio also offers:

  • Clothing featuring original photography and seasonal motifs
  • Home décor inspired by natural textures, regional history, and quiet beauty

Nothing in my store is mass-produced. Every product begins with a creative decision I made based on what I see, what I feel, and what I want to share.



And to be clear: I am the designer. I am not the shipper or fulfillment provider. My role is to create the art and layout. Zazzle handles the printing and delivery.

Why It Matters

When you support my studio, you’re supporting a real person. You’re choosing originality over convenience. You’re helping preserve a creative footprint built on voice, vision, and intentional design.



So no, this isn’t Amazon. This isn’t Walmart.
This is Susan’s Nature & Seasonal Studio.
And every product I offer is uniquely mine.
